Based in Middletown, RI just a few miles from downtown Newport, The Potter League for Animals is the heart of the humane community in Newport and in partnership with that community, the Potter League for Animals is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of animals. They promote the humane treatment of all animals and provide shelter and care for lost or unwanted companion animals. Through education, commitment to a standard of excellence in the care of animals, and fostering relationships between people and animals, they enhance the animals’ lives and enrich the human experience. We worked on a photoshoot with the Potter League earlier this year and just fell in love with their compassionate staff and of course, the sweet animals who needed a new home!

Each summer, approximately 1,500 people with disabilities learn the skills of sailing in Sail to Prevails fleet of uniquely adapted, 20-foot sailboats. Their programs strongly encourage disabled individuals to be active participants by steering the boat and trimming sails. The measurable outcomes demonstrate increased self-confidence in all parts of the new sailor’s daily lives, the camaraderie of teamwork, and improved leadership skills.
